HOLY MOLY, HOW COOL IS THAT LINK???
Thank you, thank you, thank you. That site just solved a 5-year “what IS that *&%$ tune?” mystery for me and my fella …
“Siobhan O’Donnell’s.” I’d about given up. THANK YOU!!!
(and thank you, Alan Ng!!!)
For what it’s worth, there are a few tunes called “Siobhan O’Donnell’s” (she’s a fine flute player by the way), but I don’t think any were composed by her…the one that’s most commonly known by that name is a jig composed by John Brady; John Skelton calls it McIntyre’s Fancy, which if memory serves correctly is the original name that Brady put on it.
Hey, thanks!
The one I was after is actually the reel in A; I’ve heard it tucked into a Lunasa set, Dervish’s “Green Mountain” set, and into the middle of a big set that wrapped up that radio concert Peter Laban was in – but I’ve never been able to find the name.
I’ve been wondering for years!
Thanks for the info about Siobhan O’Donnell, too – she must be good to inspire such great tunes!

thnks a lot, colomon!!! it’s a great link. and now its’ time to learn that f"%$"%$"ing tune!! ![]()
Ah, THAT Siobhan O’Donnell’s. Dunno anything about that reel.
I don’t think Siobhan “inspired” these tunes; I’m pretty sure they’re all tunes that various people have learned from her, and then given the tunes the name “Siobhan O’Donnell’s” since she was the source and didn’t have a name for them herself.
